The Organic Formula Guide for Newborns: Exploring Stage Pre and Stage 1 Infant Formulas From HiPP, Holle, and Kendamil


Published on September 18, 2024

Not every mother can breastfeed, leading them to seek out the best formula for little ones, as protecting their babies’ health is the foremost priority of any parent. Still, it can be challenging to find a safe and nutritious option that their baby tolerates well.

Organic’s Best Shop is a company that specializes in selling top-quality European organic baby formula, knowing that the stricter safety regulations in Europe are immensely beneficial for little ones. HiPP, Holle, and Kendamil are brands that craft gentle infant formulas available in Stages Pre or 1 that can be used from birth. If you’re unfamiliar with European formulas, they are offered in different stages based on your baby’s age to best meet their nutritional needs at different developmental stages. Next we’ll take a closer look at how formulas from these brands use the safest possible ingredients to ensure a healthy, happy life for little ones.

HiPP Formula

HiPP organic infant formula is made from gentle, lactose-only cow’s milk with no complementary carbohydrates, added sugars, sweeteners, or artificial ingredients. To suit different budgets and convenience needs, HiPP formula is available in powder or ready-to-feed options.

The powdered European formula has prebiotics, probiotics, vitamins, minerals, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid (ARA) to promote infant health and mimic breast milk. The ready-to-feed version includes all of the same nutrients; however, it’s made with prebiotics only, excluding probiotics, and it’s palm oil-free.

HiPP HA is a hypoallergenic formula available at Organic’s Best. It is designed for little ones with sensitivities to cow’s milk. It features a base of extensively hydrolyzed cow’s milk where proteins are broken down into smaller less allergenic pieces. Although it’s not organic, this low-allergen, GMO-free special formula supports proper nutrition and ease of digestion in sensitive babies. While many babies with an allergy to cow’s milk proteins thrive on this formula, it may not suit all babies with this allergy.

HiPP goat formula is a great alternative to cow’s milk formula known for its extra gentle composition that more closely resembles breast milk.

A happy customer of Organic’s Best Shop named Victoria had this to share: “After realizing our baby had a bottle preference, we checked out formulas online. A friend recommended HiPP goat milk formula from Germany and suggested we order from Organic’s Best due to their quick shipping. It arrived in just 4 days, and our baby, who was used to breast milk, loved it. Her naps are easier, she’s sleeping better at night, and had no issues transitioning from breast milk to goat milk formula. I definitely recommend Organic’s Best to other parents.”

The Holle goat milk formula from Organic’s Best uses plant-based DHA, ARA, palm oil-free fats, and lactose alongside whole goat’s milk to create a formula closer to human milk than cow’s milk. Holle goat milk formula is a clean, organic option great for babies who experience discomfort with cow’s milk. Goat’s milk, however, is not suitable for little ones with lactose intolerance or cow’s milk protein allergy.

Kendamil Whole Milk Formula

Kendamil is a British-made whole milk baby formula from grass-fed cows suitable from birth. It’s made without palm oil, soy, and fish oil. Kendamil uniquely sources their DHA from algae instead of fish for a more mild taste that little ones love. It also includes human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) and dual prebiotics in the form of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), to enhance immunity, gut health, and digestive wellness. Kendamil baby formula features an award-winning formulation that delivers pure gentle nutrition for newborns.
